Some new photos have emerged from
Will Smith's superhero caper
Hancock over on DVD Forum. I picked this one as it was a nice bookend to those
Iron Man ones. Everyone loves when superheroes throw cars! There hasn't been much on this film since
the teaser, so hopefully this means we'll be getting a full trailer soon.
I did a double take when I first looked through these -- I thought
Jason Bateman was Dennis Quaid for a second. Is it just me? Probably. I do write these articles in the dark and my eyes are probably being destroyed.
A viral site has also been launched, run by the titular hero himself. It seems not even superheroes are safe from fanboy snark. . .
Hancock is about a superhero in need of a major image overhaul and new enthusiasm for chasing bad guys. He hires Jason Bateman as his PR man, but just embroils himself in more of a mess when he falls for his wife, played by
Charlize Theron. The teaser had some funny moments, and if done right, this film could be a sharp antidote to all the superhero goodness we'll be getting this summer.
Hancock opens on July 2nd, 2008.

I really like these new pics, I'm really looking forward this film, because I'm kind of curious how Will Smith will play a total jerk. I hope we get another trailer soon.

Not just you. I thought it was Jason Bateman too.
